    We haven't won a single kick contest today. Must be some kind of record

    Everything going France's way. Every 50/50 situation seems to fall for them.

    If we keep doing the same thing eventually we'll get a different result.

    When you pick wings and centres who don't kick contest

    Stockdale is a complete disaster in the air

    TOB not much better

    Osborne is like a fish out of water at FB

    Why do we keep kicking it. We haven't won a kick back yet.

    Ramos is such a classy player, same with Dupont and Jalibert. Just serious operators

    As much as our forwards have had the shite kicked out of them; this game has been an utter failure from a coaching perspective.

    I think we've I'm succeeded in regathering one of our own contestable kicks all game. That tactic has been thoroughly dismantled by France and we've had no answer.

    Gibson-Park is the cause of several french tries with his stupid box-kicking. We haven't won a single one yet and he still persists with it.

    I have no idea what they’re at. No joy in the air in the first half, so in the second they continue to go into the air? Brainless stuff. Serious coaching issues.

    I'd be happy with an attack at this stage. Jesus Christ.

    Bench won't change anything... They're making us look like Italy

    lads, no more box kicks. Do I have to repeat myself? If we have the ball they can’t score.

    Ramos spooned that - total fluke.

    No pace and no fielding. England are going to have a field day in a couple of weeks.

    It's bizarre, Ireland seemed to have a kicking game plan which clearly isn't working yet they keep doing it

    We have fallen very far. It's refreshing to see France playing such great rugby compared to our totally ineffective box kicking. Having said that, it's hard to see though what else we could do
